Listen Later

Welcome to this week's episode of Charlie's Toolbox. Last week, we discussed setting boundaries with friends in toxic and unhealthy relationships. This week, in Part 2, we dive deeper into the delicate balance of being there for your friends while keeping your peace.

Episode Description:

In this episode, we explore the challenging dynamics of supporting friends who are in toxic relationships. How do you maintain your well-being while trying to help a friend in need? We discuss the importance of community and the need to be cautious about who we call friends. Sometimes, changing the conversation or setting boundaries isn't enough; we might have to honor our boundaries by walking away.

Tune in as we navigate these challenging but essential conversations, helping you make thoughtful decisions about supporting your friends while caring for yourself.

Key Takeaways:
  1. Community and Self-Care: Balancing the importance of community with protecting your well-being.
  2. Setting Boundaries: How to establish realistic and healthy boundaries.
  3. Support vs. Self-Preservation: Offering support without compromising your mental and emotional health.
